How many? - Things & People

E hia - How many (things)?

E.g. E hia ngā tūru / how many chairs?

E rua ngā tūru / Two chairs

Hei mahi:

1. Follow this link and copy the notes and examples on 'e hia' into your book. It is important to note that 'e hia' is only used to ask how many things, it is not used to ask how many people.
2. Follow this link and complete the activity below the notes. Once you have completed all questions correctly, copy 3 of the examples into your book (add the English translations).
3. Using the Te Mātāpuna textbook, read through Te Whakamārama 2.10 on page 39, then complete the Hei Mahi on pages 40 & 41 (in the red sections). Once completed, mark this work with a classmate. The teacher will then go though the answers with the class.
4. Get into pairs, then walk around the classroom and ask each other 'e hia' questions about different items you come across in the classroom. For example, you might walk up to the whiteboard area and see the whiteboard pens, one of you will then ask the other, 'e hia ngā pene?' the other will count the pens and then answer using the correct structure (for example, if there are three pens you would answer 'e toru ngā pene'). You must each ask your partner a minimum of 8 questions (and will therefore answer a minimum of 8 questions). Once finished, sit back at your desk.

Te Mātāpuna Workbook:

• Complete activity 9.4 on page 24

Tahi, rua, toru, whā - Te Tatau / Counting

E.g Tahi, rua, toru / One, two, three, four

Tekau mā tahi, tekau mā rua..... / Eleven, twelve

Tuatahi, tuarua, tuatoru..... / First, second, third

Hei Mahi:

• Counting from 1-10

1. Follow this link to notes on how to count from 1-10 in Māori. Copy the notes at the top of the page into your book, then copy the numbers.
2. Complete the translation task below the notes on the webpage from task 1.
3. Follow this link to hear/see how to count from 1-100 (watch the video from the start until 3.30 minutes only). Although we have not yet covered how to count from 10-100, the video will demonstrate how this is done. As you watch the video, repeat aloud each number (in Māori) after the presenter says it, to practice your pronunciation.
4. In pairs, practice each number by taking turns at holding up a number of your fingers, and asking your partner how many? They must then count your fingers in Māori, and then finish with saying the final number (amount) aloud to you.

• Counting from 10-100

4. Follow this link and read through the notes and examples of how to count from 10-100.

5. Copy the notes and examples (numbers) into your book. (Note: some notes on this are available in Te Kākano page 16).

6. Complete the translation activity below the notes. Once you have successfully completed the task, copy the Māori and English versions of 5 numbers from the task, into your book.

7. In pairs, take turns at saying a number from 1-00 aloud to your partner. Tour partner must then translate aloud to you, the number in te reo Māori. Keep going until each of you have said at least 15 numbers for your partner to translate.

• Counting in 100's & 1000's

8. Using the Te Mātāpuna textbook, study the list of numbers on page 105. Focus particularly on the numbers over 100. Note that in these examples, 'e' is used before numbers starting with 2-9. This is the correct way to structure a number phrase in most contexts.

9. Copy the following notes and examples into your book:

'Rau' is the Māori word for 'hundred'

'Mano' is the Māori word for 'thousand'

To write a number in the 100's or 1000's in Māori, use the same format as numbers from 10-100 (mā to join the numbers in the 10's), but start with the highest number.

E.g. 1250 - kotahi mano, rua rau, e rima tekau

5346 - Rima mano, toru rau, e whā tekau mā ono

465 - E whā rau, e ono tekau mā rima

10. Complete the Hei Mahi at the bottom pf page 105 in your book, then mark your work in pairs.

11. In groups of 4, get a mini whiteboard and whiteboard pen each. You will each take turns at writing a simple plus maths equation on your whiteboard, for example '100 + 24 + 16 = '. You will then show the equation to your group, and they will have to work out the answer, then write the answer in Māori on their whiteboard. You need to hide your answer until everyone in the group has written theirs. The person who wrote the equation will then ask everyone to show their answers at the same time. If anyone gets the answer wrong, they need to try again.

• Tuatahi, tuarua, tuawhā / first, second, third

12. Copy the following notes into your book:

To say 'first, second, third' etc in Māori, you put the prefix 'tua' before each number. You can only use this for numbers 1-9.

To say 'tenth', you use 'tuangahuru'

E.g. tuatahi - 1st

tuarua - second

tuatoru - third

tuangahuru - tenth

13. Follow this link and add the notes and examples from the website, to the notes in your book.

14. In your book, write 6 x sentences (Māori and English translations) that contain an ordinal number (tuarua, tuatoru etc).

Tokowhā ngā kōtiro kei roto i te ruma / there are four girls in the

Tokowhā kei roto i te ruma / there are four girls in the

Hei mahi:

1. Read through the Te Whakamārama 4.2 on page 112 and study the examples of how to add a location to the 'tokohia' phrase. As you can see by the examples, the location phrase is just added directly after the 'tokohia' phrase. Copy the following notes into your book under the heading 'Adding a location'

• Notes:
• To add a location to the 'tokohia' sentence, use the following structure:
• Structure: 'tokohia te/ngā + object + kei + location' e.g. 'tokohia ngā kōtiro kei waho i te ruma?'
• To answer this question you can use either of the following structures:
• 'tokowhā ngā kōtiro kei waho i te ruma' OR 'tokowhā kei waho i te ruma'

1. Copy the examples from page 112 into your books under the notes from above.

Your partner must answer your questions using one of the appropriate response structures included above.Keep going until you have both asked and answered all 6 of each persons questions. Once you are both finished, find another classmate to pair up with, and complete this task again with them.

Tokohia + active sentences

E.g. Tokohia ngā kōtiro kei te tū? / How many of the girls are standing?

Tokotoru ngā kōtiro kei te tū / Three of the girls are standing

Hei mahi:

1. Look at the Te Whakamārama 4.3 on page 114 of the Te Pūkaki textbook. See how these examples include an active phrase after the 'tokohia' phrase. Take note of the fact that the 'kei te' and 'e.....ana' active sentences are used/included in the same way.
2. Copy the following notes into your book:

• To add an active phrase to a 'tokohia' phrase, use the following structure:
• Structure: 'tokohia ngā/tē + who + e.......ana' OR 'tokohia ngā/te + who + kei te........'
• Examples: 'tokohia ngā kōtiro e waiata ana?' OR 'tokohia ngā kōtiro kei te waiata?' / how many girls are singing?

Once you have finished your questions, get into pairs, swap your books, and write answers to each others questions (make sure you have written the page number of the picture in your book).
4. As a class, each pair will now take turns at asking the class 2 of their questions. Each pair will say what page and picture their questions are about, and will then read each question aloud. The class must then come up with the answer together, and the teacher will write each answer on the board.

E hia ngā tau o....? - How old is/are.......?

E.g. E hia ngā tau o Tamara? E ono ona tau / How old is Tamara? 6 years.

E hia ou tau? Tekau mā rima ōku tau / How old are you? I am 15 years old.

Hei Mahi:

1. Using the examples on page 20 (Te Mātāpuna), the teacher will explain how to ask how old someone is, and how to answer this question. E.g. E hia/ngā tau/o/name
2. Follow this link to a PowerPoint on asking 'how old'. The teacher will take you through the PowerPoint slides. Copy the notes and examples into your book.
3. Using the Te Mātāpuna textbook, complete the Hei Mahi on page 20-21 in your book.
4. Students will complete the Hei Mahi on pages 20 & 21
5. Students will look at the picture on the bottom of pg 23, and will draw a similar picture of their own whanau, with their names and ages included above each person. Students will then write the ages of each of their whanau members under the picture using the full 'e.....' sentences.
6. Students will go around the room with their books and show their classmates the picture of their family members. Their classmates will then ask 'e hia ngā tau o..(one of the family members names)?' The person will then respond with 'e......ngā tau o.....' using their family members age (that is written next to their picture in their book).

Kia hia? - How many?

E.g. Kia hia ngā pune huka māu? / How many spoons of sugar for you?

Kia rua koa / Two please

Tīkina atu kia whitu ngā rīwai / Go and get seven potatoes, please.

Hei Mahi:

1. Follow this link and read through the notes on how 'kia hia' is used to ask or tell someone how many things are needed (notes are also in Te Kākano textbook page 63). Note how in the explanation it includes that it is more appropriate to use 'kia hia' rather than 'e hia' or 'tokohia' when we are asking or saying how many things are needed.
2. Copy the notes and examples from the web page into your book.
3. Follow this link and watch the first 2.25 minutes of the video on 'kia hia' sentences. As you watch the video, pause it, and copy 3 of the examples (Māori and English) into your book.
4. Go back to the web page that was used in task 1, and complete the whakarongo task below the notes. For this task, you need to listen to each question, then write your answer based on the items in the pictures.
5. In pairs, practice asking each other for a certain numbers of items that can be found in the classroom/backroom. The person listening to the question must go an collect the correct number of items. For example, Aroha says to her partner 'homai koa kia rua ngā pene rākau' - so her partner must hand her 2 pencils. Try to include a range of verbs where you can, such as; homai, tīkina, mauria mai. Keep taking turns at asking questions, until you have each asked 6 questions.
6. In your book, write 6 new 'kia hia' sentences using your favourite extra-curricular activity as the context. For example, if your favourite extra-curricular activity is touch rugby, a question and answer you could write is - 'kia hia ngā paoro mō te parakitihi? Kia toru koa' / How many balls are needed for the practice? Three please.
7. Get into groups of 3/4 and collect a mini-whiteboard and pen each. Take turns at saying aloud in Māori, one of your questions and answers. Your group must then write the English translation on their whiteboard and show it to you. All of your group members must get the translation correct before the next person starts their turn. Keep taking turns until at least 4 of your questions and answers have been translated by the group.
